Southampton Rally In Support of Comprehensive Immigration Reform

Waving American flags and hand-made placards, Neighbors in Support of Immigrant members and their supporters rallied for comprehensive immigration reform at a noontime rally at the Lola Prentice Park in Southampton on Saturday, May 1.
